DÜMMEN ORANGE is a multinational company growing and breeding perennials for over 100 years, now in 11 countries all over the world. Their Shasta daisy series SWEET DAISY™ comprises of 7 beautiful varieties with different flower shapes in several shades ranging from white to yellow.
SWEET DAISY™ CHER is a large-flowered Shasta daisy with single, 5-7 cm wide flowers. They have extremely thin, ribbon-like, show-white ray florets composed around a yellow disc. Individual flowers excel in longevity (up to 4 weeks) and commonly appear from late June. Deadheading and feeding will encourage continuous production of new buds and flowers. Leaves are deep green and glossy, narrowly lance-shaped, serrated at margins. The plant makes a dense, compact clump with upright stems about 30 cm tall.
Shasta daisy is widely soil adaptable provided the soil is evenly moist but well-drained. Just make sure the crown of plant is just above the soil level, never deeper. For best results we recommend growing it in humus-rich soil where the number of flowers and overall plant appearance will be better. It is commonly disease resistant but slugs become a problem when they find it since they love it - both flowers and foliage. Make sure they stay away from this beauty, otherwise they can eat the entire plant leaving bare stems in the bed. Fully hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
